Beginning October 5, 2025, Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) and Premier Golf in partnership with Mineral Springs Disc Golf Club (MSDGC) and NW Disc Golf Association (NWDGA) will launch a disc golf pilot program at Jackson Park Golf Course that will run through April 2026. The disc golf course will be set on Jackson Park’s nine-hole Executive course, 1000 NE 135th St, Seattle, WA 98125.
For the last decade, Jackson Park’s Executive course has been home to the bi-annual disc golf tournament, the Jackson Park Invitational, where disc golfers from across the northwest gather for a day of competitive disc golf. SPR and Premier Golf are now looking at expanding the disc golf course as a permanent fixture on the Executive course. The pilot will take place during the fall and winter months (golf off season) to measure impact on golfers, pace and flow of play, revenue generation, and other factors. Should the off-season pilot be deemed a success, then a “peak season pilot” will run in spring 2026 before the disc golf course becomes a permanent fixture.
Disc golfers will pay full Executive course greens fees to support revenue generation for the Jackson Park golf complex. The Executive course is first come first served play and a tee time is not needed. All course users will adhere to the flow of play timing while on the course.
The course layout was initially established in 2015 for the inaugural Jackson Park Invitational. The Jackson Park Disc Golf Course will be a modified layout of the course used during the tournament and offers 18 holes of disc golf utilizing nine baskets and 18 tee pads.
During the pilot period, Mineral Springs Disc Golf Club will host two disc golf clinics for those interested in learning the game with a focus on youth education. For those looking to compete on the course, the Jackson Park Invitational will take place on Saturday, October 25th. Those interested in competing should contact Mineral Springs Disc Golf Club for more information.
Thank you to Seattle Parks and Recreation, Premier Golf, Mineral Springs Disc Golf Club, NW Disc Golf Association, and others who contributed to make this pilot possible!
